Sour cream container jammed under slide

I have a 16 gateway ptb3700, our residential fridge lock came off during travel, somehow a whole large container of sour cream ended up jammed under our living room slide. The slide is now bouncing and popping as it goes in and out. I was able to remove the smashed sour cream container, but I'm not sure if there is anything else under the slide. How can I make sure there is nothing else under the slide? Do I need to re-adjust the slide travel.?


Thanks for your time.

I would suggest that you look at it from outside. There should be a rubber seal that you can peal back using your fingers.
Use a flashlight and inspect when the slide is out.

When replacing a sheared off slide support roller on my refrigerator slide, I was able to LIFT the slide off the floor with an outside bottle jack and wood cribbing to the slide frame setup. With the upper slide seals they use there is 2-3 inches of vertical oversize in the slide/frame cutout. After the slide is lifted you should be able to inspect under it better.

A smartphone or other digital camera may be useful in inspecting tight spaces. You could also rent or buy an inexpensive inspection camera that plugs into your phone or computer to help view those tight spots.
